Majors and Minors (Academic Programs)
The majors and minors listed below are described in the pages that follow. Most of these programs also offer a minor, and there are four minors in programs for which there is no major. Students interested in majors not listed here or who are interested in designing their own major or minor may explore Individualized Majors and Minors options.
Students may not earn more than one major and/or minor in the same academic field. If students complete multiple majors, they must complete a separate capstone or culminating experience for each major where one is required.
Because of the interdisciplinary nature of some of our programs, faculty from one discipline will sometimes teach in another area because of special expertise or particular focus in a specific course.
Principia College is currently redesigning curriculum in each academic program. We encourage you to speak with program faculty in your areas of interest to learn more about how the academic curriculum may change in upcoming course catalogs.
